    Cute place with so much to look at between the quirky cards & all the books! The staff are always very friendly & helpful. The best thing is the avocado smash & adding halloumi to it, a must eat!

    Cute & narrow bookstore with friendly family atmosphere throughout the cafe/bookstore. Cool place to catch up on reading, drink tea/coffee or a sandwich

    The avo smash - but if you're Anerican, be ready for something different from our version. There are big chunks of feta mixed in.

    Great coffee! And the perfect place to drink it on a rainy afternoon. Friendly welcoming staff and old books, who could ask for more?
